On the very same night, the same dream I had earlier on repeated itself. This time I was able to go and see what happening in the other grave which I didn't choose in the first dream. When I looked inside I saw a woman crying, I couldn't make out who the woman was but I saw that she was crying because a man was moving out. This time around, I wasn't afraid at all. I was very calm and watched everything as it happened even though I didn't know who the people were.
At 4am I woke up and I sat up trying to make sense of it all. I then checked my phone to see if there was anything I missed. Lincoln had sent me a text earlier asking me if I wanted to talk. I think it was obviously because he saw me lose at Monopoly and he's the only one who knows what it means when I lose. I wasn't comfortable with Lincoln and his texts because he was texting me behind closed doors but behaved totally different in front of everyone, almost as if I didn't exist. A few minutes later when I was trying to get back to sleep, I heard footsteps coming from the passage. I slowly got out of my bed and opened my door quietly to see what was happening. I then stuck my head out and saw Thobile and Nigel sneaking in to the bathroom. I tip-toed to the bathroom door and stood there to hear if there would be any exchange of information.
When I heard everything I needed to hear, I tip toed back into my bedroom and closed my door quietly. I wasn't the only one in the house with skeletons and I was somewhat relieved because I had found some form of leverage on Thobile. I went back to sleep and woke up at 7am to prepare for work.
That morning I was really missing Menzi, as much as our cohabitation didn't last, I was getting used to having someone next to me every morning. My dreams were still confusing, they were the only thing I had on my mind but I knew that they would make sense when the time was right so I just relaxed. When I was ready, I went downstairs to have breakfast. At the table I found Thobile, Lincoln, Sihle, Malcolm and KG. "Morning guys" I said as I sat down to join them.
"So, Thobile, how's the baby doing?" I asked. "Fine, just fine!" she replied. "I see, Lincoln would you like a lift to work?" I asked. He told me that he would travel with Sihle. Malcolm wasn't happy about that and asked why Lincoln wanted to travel with Sihle when he could travel with me. "Whoa dude! It's okay, I'll go with Earl." Lincoln said to defend himself. "No, sorry, I changed my mind. I don't do lifts anymore!" I said in his response and everyone laughed. "You're still as feisty as ever Earl" KG said flirtatiously. I just laughed. "This is really disgusting!" Thobile said as she banged both her hands on the table. Everyone looked at her trying to understand her reaction. "And then Thobile?" Sihle asked. "It's the pregnancy Sihle, Lincoln let's go!" I said as I stood up to leave for work. I didn't even finish my breakfast because Thobile was getting to me.
Thobile clearly didn't know what I had on her and she tried by all means to make me feel uncomfortable but I just let her be.
